Kyle Abraham Plenty of interesting dances aren’t about anything in particular, but they aren’t by Abraham. With his company, ABRAHAM.IN.MOTION, he’s created a body of work that examines big, controversial issues and small, human-scale ideas, usually at the same time. When the Wolves Came In focuses on two anniversaries: the 150th of the Emancipation Proclamation and the 20th of the abolishment of apartheid in South Africa, both filtered through the music of Max Roach. SANDRA KURTZ  The Moore, 1932 Second Ave., Seattle, WA 98101 $32.50-$52.50 Wednesday, March 4, 8pm – Thursday, March 5, 2015, 8pm

Mark Morris Dance Group This most musical of choreographers is back in Seattle, with three works new to us (Jenn and Spencer, Crosswalk, and Words) and one more familiar (Pacific, also in the PNB repertory). Few people working today are as able to show us the internal logic of a dance as Morris-his choices feel both surprising and inevitable. If you know the score (like Felix Mendelssohn’s “Songs Without Words,” to which Words is set), you’re gobsmacked at how powerfully the movement is linked to it. If the music-to be performed live by the company’s MMDG Music Ensemble-is new to you, it will be forever associated in your memory with his choreography. (Through Saturday; Morris will also give a lecture at Kane Hall, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. Free; RSVP required via UW World Series.) SANDRA KURTZ Meany Hall for the Performing Arts, UW Campus, Seattle, WA 98105 $10-$58 Thursday, March 5 – Sunday, March 8, 2015
